The subject of old people dying their hair black to hide their greys hair is a new phenomenon in Ghana politics.
Many Ghanaian old politicians have been accused of using hair dye to hide their grey hair but it is not clear whether the men in this list dyed their hair or not.
The onset of hair greying in humans varies from person to person, as well as among racial groups of people based on genetic and other germane factors, health researchers say.
It has been established empirically that white people start to grey in their mid-or late 30s whereas African Americans begin to grey in their mid-40s. Averagely, however, most people grow grey hair in their late 30s or mid-40s.
